I think what is happening is that the old book isn't being
destroyed. For flat-file backends, some of what should probably
be done in gnc_book calls is handled in src/FileDialog.c, due
to historical reasons. We plan on cleaning this up, but for
now you might try doing what gnc_book_destroy is doing during
the rpc server gnc_book_end call. I.e., make sure the book
contents (account group & pricedb) are being destroyed.
